And that's why you now live in a van down by the river.


OMG, pp -- thank you. For some reason this gave me the biggest laugh I've had in a while.

Yes, but they don't so get some workbooks and do it yourself.

Parochial schools are notorious for not teaching math. I would rather my children learn math in school and cursive at home.


Ours has multiple math tracks, and their middle track (i.e., the average students) is about 1 year ahead of the local public schools, but thank you for playing. It also is academically rigorous in other subjects.

The other can't write or draw, and doesnt want to learn cursive.

I learned cursive but wouldn't make effort to make it legible.


I haven't met a single person in the last 30 years who makes an effort to make cursive legible.
